The designer saved all the packaging over the course of several months worth of online purchases before turning them into a beautiful, [eco-friendly Christmas tree](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-tree-delivery-service). The cardboard tree by Füreder took the designer over two days to create and consists of various shapes that have been cut out of the Amazon shipping boxes. The various portions were glued together to create a modern piece of Christmas decor that is nothing short of adorable and a great use of materials that might otherwise be viewed as waste. The tree identifies how unexpected materials can be repurposed in order to create a beautiful piece of decor and extend the life of seemingly single-use materials. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Eco-friendly Christmas Decor:** Creating Christmas decor using repurposed materials and sustainable practices. - **Upcycling Packaging Materials:** Finding creative ways to reuse packaging materials in innovative designs. - **Waste Reduction in Design:** Exploring ways to minimize waste and extend the life of materials in the design process. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Ecommerce Packaging:** Developing innovative packaging solutions that prioritize sustainability and reducing waste. - **Home Decor:** Creating eco-friendly home decor products with a focus on repurposed materials. - **Sustainable Design:** Incorporating sustainable practices and materials into the design process to minimize environmental impact. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plastic Bottle-Made Christmas Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caroline-chaptini.md) - [Festive Bamboo Tissues Papers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stackatree.md) - [Upcycled Waste Material Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-furniture-design.md) - [Striking E-Commerce Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maksim-arbuzov.md) - [Recyclable eCommerce Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazon-packaging.md) - [Pop-Up Holiday Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-minute-christmas-trees.md) - [Biodegradable Holiday Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-decor-collection.md) - [Christmas-Themed USB Keys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psb-xmas-tree.md) - [Recycled Material Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cozy-cleo-lamp.md)
